SteamVR black screen

[Justin Weaver]

I have an Oculus Rift DK2 running in extended mode... when attempting to launch Steam VR I just get a black screen. However I can hear the sound of the application and can click on stuff.

Anyone else having this issue?

I had a similar issue. For me resetting the window settings and updating the gpu driver worked.
Also it *might* if you delete the registry keys for the oculus' monitor (while having the rift disconnected of course).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Connectivity

(classic update speach) updating the runtime, steamvr, steam and the firmware might also help cause well, why not.

Also post your vrserver- and client logs here, maybe there is something importand.

I am getting a similar problem. I can launch Steam VR but when I select a VR game the screen goes black and I can hear the game but nothing plays. When I use my second monitor to try and select the game it crashes.
